Default Need help radio stopped working after new speakers install

Hi everyone HAPPY NEW YEAR,
I have a 2006 Ranger XLT ext.cab,it has a stock am/fm with single cassette,I replaced all the stock speakers (4) with new Pioneer speakers TS-G6844R.The radio worked fine for a few days,now it is not working,checked the two fuses in kick panel all good.The clock in the radio works,tried the cassette player and it eat the cassette will not eject it.
Does it sound like the radio is FRIED because of the new speakers or is there anything that could be wrong?
Thanks,
Ed

Why do you think the new speakers would "fry" the stock headunit ? Put a new Pioneer headunit in and run new 16 gauge speaker wire x 4 from the new headunit to each speaker.

I thought the amp for the stock speakers was in the radio,and the new speakers over worked the system.The old speakers were 25 amp and the new are 40+ amp.What else can I try to get the radio working,someone I know said to try disconnecting the battery to reset the radio,DID NOT WORK!!!!!!

Yes, the headunit has a small 'amp' in it. Speakers do not handle amperage (current), they handle watts (power). The Pioneer speakers are 4 ohm impedance, as are the stock speakers (made by Pioneer). The stock headunit was probably going bad anyway. They are all POS.

Thanks GLH,
I am just going to replace the unit,with something from Pioneer that will match the speakers,nothing fancy.
Thank you for your help,
Ed

Those speakers are made to work with any headunit...
